On the start up, on maggiore for some reason the guys in front didn't hit gas and I just gushed out in front of then. And I may be wrong but they also ghosted out. |
Which is also a plus racing the people in the back, easy to put distance on them. While with 'better' drivers they'll stick behind you and force themselves on the inside of you taking the corner cut time penalty while gently pushing you aside. What can you do about that except cut the corner yourself? Plus you still get the SR downrating as well when they hit you while cutting the corner.
Indeed while racing I always watch the time to the person behind me, if it's less than 0.4 then I start adjusting my cornering not to get bumped. The game is just way too forgiving to people dive bombing cutting the corner while pushing you aside.
Starting is buggy, you sometimes get lucky when the people in front just got forced to brake by the auto drive and the wave doesn't hit you before the countdown ends. I've seen actual pile-ups during the start with multiple cars ghosted inside each other. That's what might have happened first guy gets slowed by autodrive, second lags into first, both ghost and slow down, you get lucky.
